FRANKENWEENIE Could Come to Us in Black & White 3D

We love seeing a story about a boy and his dead dog come together.  Such is the case with Tim Burton’s FRANKENWEENIE.  Based on his own, 1984 short, the full-length feature version of the story of a boy who brings his dead dog back to the land of the living has been in the works for a few years now.  It appears now, though, that this will definitely be on Burton’s radar after he wraps up ALICE IN WONDERLAND.  In fact, the fine people over at Coming Soon.net recently spoke with producer Allison Abbate about the visual style of the picture.

According to Abbate, it is possible that the film could well be in black and white, as well as in 3D.

Judging from this, Burton will be  hearkening  back to the 3D monster pics of the ’50s, something he hasn’t touched on since 1996’s MARS ATTACKS.  Of course, where FRANKENWEENIE falls onto Burton’s plate in relation to DARK SHADOWS is anyone’s guess.  He said at Comic-Con this year that DARK SHADOWS would be his next film, but, with a release date of November, 2011 set for FRANKENWEENIE along with shooting in 3D, he should be gearing up for that fairly soon.  Time will tell, and, as soon as we know, you’ll know.
